We're going to Mars

we'll see - that's a sensible timeframe. Although i think it'd take longer than that.

Elon Musk has a habit of thinking big (which is good) but then having to go for the next smaller thing. So i suppose it´s more like 2035-ish and if anything after NASA.

This guy has had me completely entranced over the past few years. All of his ventures and aspirations are so interesting to me. I'm really excited about his large battery energy storage capabilities he is working on.

The dudes on another level for sure. It's practically blasphemy for me to say anything positive about what he's done since my livelihood is built entirely on oil and gas, but there's no denying how far he's taken the electric car and how safe they are.

Yeah, I get the point but his ability to successfully challenge commonly accepted technologies / practices is really cool. Needless to say, I think your job with oil and gas is safe for our lifetime.

He is on another level. This private citizens company has managed to land a rocket VERTICALLY, not once, but several times. North Korea can't even hit a goddam country with their shit, let alone land them! This deal may not happen exactly when he says he wants to launch, but I have no doubt he's gonna do it. And it will work!

I don't know if I would go that far. We have private companies sending shit to space and our presidential choices are Donald and Hillary. That's scary shit.

I applaud any efforts to explore space but not sure anyone will actually get on board a one way flight.

Musk could say he built the fountain of youth and people would believe him. There is a big difference between saying and doing (as is evidenced by the Tesla factory outside of Reno).
